Udall Sponsors Bill to Crack Down on Smuggling in Aircraft

This week Sen. Tom Udall introduced bi-partisan legislation that would improve border security by cracking down on smugglers who use ultralight aircraft to bring drugs across the U.S.-Mexico border.

The legislation would give law enforcement agencies additional tools to combat this type of drug trafficking by closing a loophole in current law that allows smugglers who use ULAs to receive a lesser penalty than those who use airplanes or cars.
